The Ghost Prince does not, under any circumstances, answer a summoning after it was made aware he existed. None know why he doesn't, some are bitter and hateful of it while others are thankful that it's one less bloodthirsty manic to deal with.

The Ghost King meanwhile hasn't been seen in multiple eons, so the magical community who wanted to use his power just, stopped, trying to summon him for a long time.

Most magic users knew that the Ghost Prince never answered a summons, and that the Ghost King just dropped off the radar.

So could you really blame Constantine for not taking it that seriously when some wannabe hotshot cultists try to summon both of them in the middle of a city to wreak havoc?

He'll give them some credit though. Points for doing it in broad daylight and actually being somewhat of a threat with not relying on just summoning the Ghost royalty and figuring out what to do from there.

The area they were in was somewhat destroyed, then the cultists manage to complete the summoning circle to summon both of them and Constantine, well he just light up a smoke.

It isn't going to work anyways so what does it matter?

...

Is that a fucking Ice cream truck he hears? Who the fuck is driving an Ice cream truck while their city is being under attacked with cultists trying to summon eldritch ghost royalty?

He'll give them some points for dedication, though.

Then he looked at the cultists and nearly had a goddamn heart attack to see that the summoning circle is actually fucking lighting up and working.

The Bat is so gonna give him a headache over this.

Danny Phantom, crown prince of the Infinite Realms. Does not answer summons.

For one, it is annoying as shit, whenever someone interrupts his day just to ask for infinite power (that he can't give), world domination (that he won't do) or infinite riches (which he also can't do).

It just got annoying being summoned all the time so. One day he just, well, no. And hey, it worked out well enough for him to not continue doing it.

Then he also learned that Pariah Dark is basically the same, after he got out the coffin and stopped trying to take over the world for whatever reason. He was actually a pretty swell guy!

He was just with him too, with him being not so swell at the time for making him go through lessons about Ghost etiquette, rules, stuff that's expected of him as the crown prince.

And don't even get him started on the engagement and marriage proposals.

Overall, he just wanted to find an excuse to leave. Then he felt the familiar suggestive pull of a summoning and, instead of rejection as he usually does in a second. He thought for a bit if he wanted to go with that or crown prince duties.

It was tempting, but dealing with cultists seemed worse than this so he was about to reject.

At least, before he heard an Ice cream truck playing in the background. He doesn't even know how the hell that popped up through the pull but by the gods has it been a while since he's had Ice cream.

So he answers and is gone with a pop.

Pariah Dark just stares for a good second or two, before breathing out and deciding to also answer. Fright Knight is just there, off to side, questioning what he should do now.

Danny wastes no time with the cultists on the other side and in fact, he pushes them out of the way and goes diving for that Ice cream truck he hears. Only to realize he doesn't, have any money on him.

Fuck.

Pariah Dark is less inclined to follow the rules imposed by humans like money, but he does know it can be important. Once in a while. Not that often, but it has its times.

So when he sees his adopted son being sad over being unable to pay for some kind of human delicacy, he digs around in his hair (yes, his hair.) and pulls out some money and puts it on the counter as payment.

The man inside the tiny vehicle had shrieked before getting what they wanted. Which is good. Fear is a good motivator, Pariah thinks.

Unknown to him, it wasn't out of fear (Well, mostly) but because the Ghost King placed down a coin made of pure, solid gold on his counter.

The two then go about their business in the human realm, completely forgetting about the fact that they were summoned here for something.

Constantine is both relieved and about to have an aneurysm at seeing Infinite Realm royalty only answering a summon because of Ice cream.

Ruler of my heart is a song about obsession, devotion, in almost the religious sense as you look up to the person as a god in your life, your only person.

There is hesitance in Mizi and Luka's ruler of my heart as Mizi is still grieving Sua, just on the cusp of breaking, and Luka is manipulating her into falling into his whims, directly pressing on that wound. In Sua's version of Ruler of My Heart, she is Mizi's god. The song expresses her etherealness in the way she sings.

But in HyunA's version of Ruler of My Heart, she sounds more wistful and distracted like she's reminiscing. Her tone isn't strong like her personality, she sings softly and deeply like a murmur, in the solace of her own mind she doesn't feel as free as she is. She still feels stuck in the past. Luka still lingers in her mind even after all these years, in this song, too, his voice lingers in the background just barely as if he’s haunting her. HyunA sings ROMH with such an air of disinterest, yet she breaks at certain moments when it's so obvious she's thinking about Hyunwoo, her only person.

She's also thinking about Luka. HyunA is obviously mad at Luka, mad might not even be a strong enough word for just how angry she was, he's the reason she lost her brother after all, how could he take him from her and dare to try and take his place, as if he could be her everything like hyunwoo was, as if he could heal her. She wishes she would've never met him at all, but while singing, she sounds melancholic because that day, she didn't just lose her brother. She lost Luka too.

The anniversary covers feel like foreshadowing for each of the characters' stories, so in Round 7 I think there will be a moment to address this lingering ache, but I'm not sure just how it will play out...probably not anything good (due to my doubts)

NOW IM SO EXCITED TO HEAR THEIR VOICES EDITED TOGETHER I WILL DIE

Old Wounds

So excited to finally post this comic collab between @chocodile and I! She did the initial thumbnails and colors and provided the evil wizard rabbit, and I did the script, sketch and lines and provided the pathetic prettyboy unicorn.

Old Wounds is a look into the alliance between Duke Hyden and Lord de Luxe, an alliance that winds up being a mere ploy for Hyden’s experimentation with unicorn blood and leaves Ambroys feeling rather drained (and often unconscious on Hyden’s floor). It takes place towards the end of their “friendship”, after there’s some serious bad blood between the two - bad blood that sustains a centuries-long grudge.

(Well - I say “bad blood,” but Hyden seems to think the blood is juuuust fine.)

This is going to sound mean but I mean this in the most sincere and compassionate way I possibly can:

If you see a comment on the internet that is transphobic towards your group and your first assumption is that the person who wrote it is a different kind of transgender and not cis, especially if that comment is completely removed from all context or anonymous, no avatar or username or anything, take that as a sign to log off for a few days or pick up a new hobby.

For what it's worth, as much as I bitch about current Overwatch/Overwatch 2 fans, I don't blame people for still engaging with Overwatch fan content, so to speak. Writing fic, drawing fanart, whatever. This is the one thing I'll give you over current and active Harry Potter fans.

Unlike the TERF Queen of Shit Island who takes even fanwork as endorsement of her politics-

(No, I don't care how deluded you are that making gay/trans Marauders content is 'sticking it to her', as a white woman she thrives on attention - both good and bad - and you making content means YOU KEEP GIVING ATTENTION TO HER AS A RESULT. WHEN WILL THIS PENETRATE YOUR THICK SKULLS?)

-Blizzard Entertainment does not give a singular flying fuck if you talk about their game or like it or hate it. Overwatch 2 is literally one of the most negatively reviewed games of all time on Steam. Apart from one whiny comment from Aaron Keller, they don't care. The only thing they care about is their bottom line.

Playing the game to boost playercounts, buying the battlepasses and coins, skins, etc., this is what they want.

Writing fanfic where you smash 76 and Reaper together? Drawing fanart of D.Va kissing Ramattra? Not the problem.

Fucking playing their game, giving them money and playercount? THAT'S THE PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO STOP.

If you wanna see a loser bitch get mad as hell tell a fanfic writer to PROPERLY tag their fic as rape. Not just write "noncon" in the post but go into the notes and actually tag it as "tw rape" because they get mad asf when you call them out on it. How the fuck am I supposed to find good smut fics when each and everyone of yall are sexualizing and romanticizing rape and using the excuse that it's "dark content" no nigga you're fucking weird. You're a weirdo with a rape fetish and you're projecting it through a fictional character who has nothing to do with that and you refuse to tag it because you want notes and interactions with more people who say shit like "Omg X character nonconning his darling is sooo hot 🥺💗🎀🌸".

Don't get mad at me for calling you out on it because if you didn't write it in the first place, and if you actually tagged it I wouldn't have to see it at all.

[eclaire-went-bam]

low/no empathy is Minorly Othering in terms of interests (in my experience) because almost everyone i know prefers fiction over nonfiction, because it's more interesting and easier to digest,

but prefer the opposite for the same reasons. nonfiction is MUCH easier for me to parse through. i stress myself out a lot whenever i try to imagine a characters thoughts and feelings, and i end up usually just misunderstanding entirely. oftentimes it's so frustrating i just put a book down and never try reading it again. i understand rhetorical devices, messages, themes, symbolism,,, i understand the book on a technical level when it comes to the artistry of how it's written. but i, for the life of me, in the moment, simply cannot fathom a character's thoughts and feelings

comics are only a little easier bcs they have added help of drawn depictions of thoughts and feeling, but even then it can still be hard. i just can't enjoy the same literature many ppl are into just cus i find textbooks n stuff more easy to read
